Women in Horror Month Interview with TV Fanatic Girl

Tag: devil

Happy Wednesday TV Fans! After recently completing my first full watch of Lucifer, I have to admit that I am beyond obsessed. I can’t wait for Netflix to release the season 5 premiere date and I am already ranking Lucifer as one of my favorite series of all time.

Seriously, it’s so good! I highly recommend it!

One of the reasons why I love Lucifer so much is because of the wonderful musical numbers. Tom Ellis is absolutely brilliant and fantastic and somehow turns some already epic songs into unique and timeless renditions. At first I was slightly skeptical about the musical numbers, but I quickly adapted and welcomed them on the show.

The showstopping numbers are entertaining on their own, but I love how some of the performances truly highlight some key moments on the show and even elevate them to something even greater.

Tom Ellis is born to perform, but I also was surprised and impressed by some of the supporting cast members as well, who should think about performing more often.

The performances somehow mirror our own moods, which is not always easy to do. Shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed did a fantastic job with this previously, but it’s difficult to seamlessly throw in musical numbers and Lucifer just makes it look effortless.

I’m hoping that we eventually get a full musical episode and perhaps we can see something like that in season 5 if we’re lucky, but for today, I am going to be ranking my top 5 songs performed on the series so far.

**Please note some spoilers are ahead if you are not up to date on the series.**

Without any further delay, let’s get to my list!

My Top 5 Songs Performed on Lucifer are:

5

Luck Be A Lady

Song featured in Season 3, episode 6. Performed by Lucifer, featuring Ella!

In this episode, Lucifer and Ella head to Vegas to track down Candy. The team-up between Lucifer and Ella is hilarious on its own and they really make quite the duo! Ella looks absolutely stunning in her dress, but she also shares the stage with Lucifer during this performance.

Tom Ellis channels his Frank Sinatra with flair, but adding in Ella as one of the “Morningstar” backup dancers makes this number truly stand out. Hit him with your feather boa again, girl!

4

I Will Survive

Song featured in Season 3, episode 17. Performed by Axara and Lucifer.

After a pop singer’s life is in danger, she is supposed to remain on lockdown while the police figure this out, but Axara loves the spotlight and decides to perform to keep herself occupied. Only, Lucifer decides to stop the performance, but Axara refuses, forcing Lucifer to grab the microphone and…join in on the song.

The words actually match up with Lucifer trying to get Axara to leave, which is beyond hilarious and Axara may have just been outperformed by the original diva, Lucifer!

3

Eternal Flame

Song featured in Season 2, episode 14. Performed by Lucifer. Sings to Chloe.

After making fun of Chloe’s playlist, Lucifer takes things one step further. Chloe is trying to make her way through a club during an investigation and Lucifer decides to get on stage and dedicate one of her favorite songs to her.

This moment is beyond sweet and adorable and Chloe’s reaction is everything in the crowd.

Later on in the series, we get to witness Chloe and Lucifer slow dancing to “Only You,” which is another one of my favorite moments, but Lucifer’s performance absolutely deserves a spot on our list today.

2

Wonderwall

Song featured in Season 4, episode 9. Performed by Maze. Sings to Eve.

“Wonderwall” is already one of my favorite songs and happens to be performed on my absolute favorite series of all time, Lost. So, it’s safe to say that I have very high expectations here.

However, when Maze (my favorite character) decides to take a leap of faith and show a “grand gesture” to reveal her feelings to Eve, this song took on new meaning for me.

Maze’s performance is soulful and beautiful. Part of the reason why I love this performance so much is because we know that Maze rarely shows her vulnerability and she lets it all out in the open here, exposing her heart and reminding us that perhaps this demon really does have a soul after all…

Some honorable mentions before revealing my number one pick are:

All Along the Watchtower (Season 2, episode 1)

Sinnerman (Season 1, episode 6)

Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door (Season 1, episode 9)

Drum roll please…

1

Creep

Song featured in Season 4, episode 1. Performed by Lucifer.

Tom Ellis is beyond brilliant during this performance. I think I have listened to this rendition a thousand times and may even prefer it to the original song…it’s that good. Part of what makes it so epic is it mirrors Lucifer’s own inner battle. Lucifer is at a breaking point and is trying to figure out who he really is and what his purpose is.

Every single breath he takes and every note makes you sympathize with his struggle, stirring so many emotions at once. This performance truly moves me and showcases just how incredibly talented Tom Ellis is. Perfection…

I hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to post your own thoughts and comments on your favorite songs performed on Lucifer. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse season 8 episode 5 last night, I thought the saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” was appropriate, or in Cordelia’s case, keep your girls close and the Antichrist even closer, but will she be able to outsmart Michael Langdon? Place your bets now. I’m all in on Coven. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Boy Wonder,” Cordelia has a vision about the end of the world and agrees to administer the test of the Seven Wonders for Michael. Meanwhile, John Henry continues to have his suspicions about Michael, Madison is given an important task, and we are presented with more Easter eggs. Did you catch them all? My top 5 moments from American Horror Story: Apocalypse season 8 episode 5 are:

5

“And if you succeed, you will be the next Supreme and it will change everything.”

In the beginning of the episode, Cordelia has a startling vision about the future and sees a world filled with “cannibalism, fire, and death.” Cordelia saw her academy “reduced to cinders” and is not about to take this warning lightly. She recognizes that their very survival might depend on what she does next and finally agrees to administer the test of the Seven Wonders at the rise of the blood moon. Does this sound familiar? During Roanoke, the spirits were able to cross over coinciding with the blood moon cycle, so this is absolutely a connection to season 6. We also know that the spirits were linked to Lady Gaga’s character, Scathach, who was the first of the Supremes. It makes sense that the test of the Seven Wonders is connected to this as well, especially since it is a test of true power and worthiness. Cordelia reveals that Michael will be named the next Supreme if he can pass the test. Myrtle hilariously points out that men make horrible leaders, but Cordelia stands by her decision.

4

“I’m a gluten detector. That’s my only power.”

Myrtle reminds Cordelia that Michael is not the only one with power and we get to witness another example of Mallory’s extraordinary abilities. Mallory heals the wounds of an injured deer, but doesn’t just heal them; she completely undoes them, which is remarkable. We also finally get to see Coco’s entrance into the academy and learn that her only real power is that of a “gluten detector.” Coco explains that her brother was about to eat something and she got a horrible feeling and pushed it away from him, saving his life. However, word spread fast and Coco’s socialite friends requested that she do a test of sorts on their food to ensure that they can hit their target weight. Coco hilariously begins humming when she scans the food and declares whether or not it has gluten. Cordelia points out to Coco that her powers can develop and grow and that detecting if something is dangerous is actually something significant. While we haven’t gotten a chance to see Coco’s powers advance, she is still bringing some comic relief to us along the way. In terms of Mallory’s powers, we know that it has been hinted that her ancestry line goes back to Salem, but is it possible that she is somehow a descendant of Scathach? It seems like Mallory may be the only one who is potentially strong enough to face Michael Langdon and it would make sense to have the son of Satan face off against one of the daughters of the first original Supreme. We’ll have to wait and see; however, but I am hoping we get more screen time for Mallory soon.

3

“Stand down bitch.”

John Henry is still refusing to accept Michael Langdon as the next “alpha” and decides to go out and get some answers. Before he has a chance to do so, he crosses paths with the original Ms. Mead at a gas station and she cryptically says, “So many things left to do and so little time in the hour glass.” While the idea of time running out in an hour glass can represent so many things, John Henry is caught off guard and Ms. Mead eliminates him as a threat forever, setting him on fire. I have to say that I was just really starting to enjoy John Henry’s character and he brought just the right amount of sass to the table. Michael is being very careful to eliminate any threat around him, but it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out about who he really is.

2

“What always happens when a new Supreme rises…the old one fades away.”

Michael begins to pass the test of the Seven Wonders with flying colors, even though the tests were presented like a silent film in black and white. When he gets to the final test of “Descensum,” he is to project his soul into the afterlife, but Cordelia changes things up and requests that he retrieve Misty from there. Cordelia reminds everyone that she is still The Supreme and that she outranks everyone there and is not weak at all, even though her powers seem to be fading. Michael agrees to the test and we once again see a series of doorways, reminding us that this season is connecting us to so many different worlds and realms. Michael finds Misty in a school science lab of sorts, where she is forced to dissect a living frog over and over again. I thought Madison’s personal hell was pretty bad, but I definitely feel for Misty here. When Michael arrives, Misty asks if he is there to save her and he is able to bring her back successfully. I was excited to see the return of Lily Rabe’s character and hope that Misty can help out her sister witches. When Michael completes this, Cordelia begins to fade even further, signaling that Michael will become the next Supreme.

1

“He will never be The Supreme. I wanted to keep him close so we would be ready.”

Cordelia has been keeping her poker face going this entire time, as she later reveals that she never planned to let Michael become the next Supreme. Misty even tells her that there is something not right about him and it was like he was speaking to evil directly. Cordelia’s powers may be fading, but she is still on top of her game. She cleverly got Michael to bring back all of her girls so that they would be ready for the final battle. She thanks Misty for bringing them the first proof and in a touching moment, in walks Stevie Nicks,“The White Witch.” She serenades Misty and the two dance together, which is wonderful to see. Welcome back Stevie! Later on, Cordelia pulls Madison aside and tells her that she wants her to go find out more about Michael. One of the warlocks, Behold Chablis, was eavesdropping and has his own reasons for wanting to tag along. At least John Henry was not the only one to have a gut feeling about Michael, even though Chablis initially seemed to disagree with him. Cordelia agrees that they will go together and Madison asks, “What’s so special about this place?” Cordelia explains that “it’s where it all began” and we cut to the front of Murder House. It looks like Madison will be moving in and we will get to see some of our old favorite characters return next week. Are you ready? Stay tuned!

P.S. fun fact:Madison shares the same last name as Dr. Charles Montgomery, who is the one who originally built the Murder House.

I am so excited to announce that my book,The Search for Alice, is now available!If you enjoy fairy-tale retellings, paranormal romance, horror, and mystery, then this might be the book for you or someone you know! Thank you for taking the time to check it out and I appreciate any feedback as well. I hope you enjoy!

When Kallie Bennett, a jaded teenage girl plagued by her alcoholic mother and her peers molded out of sheer bubble gum perfection, chases after Alice in Wonderland herself, she ends up lost in her own version of Wonderland, which forces her to face her utmost fears and introduces her to familiar characters with a dark twist. Among these characters is Ches, a gorgeous vampire with a conflicted conscience, who becomes Kallie’s guide and blossoming love interest. She also crosses paths with Queen Hartley, a manipulative witch who has the power to strip away one’s memories and imagination, which brings a bone chilling new meaning to “off with their heads.” In The Search for Alice, Kallie starts to realize that her Wonderland is just as frightening as her own reality and that she cannot always run away from her problems. She must figure out a way to defeat Queen Hartley and return home before it is too late, but she soon learns that escaping Wonderland means leaving Ches behind forever.

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse season 8 episode 3 last night, the moment we have all been waiting for is finally here. Are you ready? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In last night’s episode, “Forbidden Fruit,” Mr. Langdon continues to interview potential candidates to determine if they are worthy to join “The Sanctuary” and discovers a surprising secret about Mallory while revealing one of his own as well. Meanwhile, we learn more about Ms. Mead’s past, Ms. Venable announces that Outpost 3 will be celebrating with a Halloween Soiree, and the Easter eggs kept us focused and entertained. Did you catch them all? My top 5 moments from American Horror Story: Apocalypseseason 8 episode 3 are:

5

“It’s the one day of the year when the rest of the world puts in some effort to be fabulous like I am every other day.”

During the episode, Ms. Venable announces that they will be holding a Halloween Soiree to celebrate. The theme of the party will be a Victorian Masquerade ball and everyone is beyond excited to have something to look forward to. Only Ms. Venable plans on using the party as a way of arranging for everyone to eat the apples delivered from “The Cooperative” at the same time, which she poisons with the assistance of Ms. Mead with snake venom. Everyone deserves just a glimmer of hope and happiness and they scamper off to get their costumes ready. Mr. Gallant hilariously explains why he loves Halloween while he reminisces with Coco about their Michael Jackson costumes from when they were younger. While the party is good news, Coco recognizes that they will probably announce who is going into “The Sanctuary” during the party. She understands that everything has some kind of hidden agenda, reminding us that “the closest thing to a Christmas feast was stew” or does she mean Stu? Sorry couldn’t resist. Either way, the Halloween party will definitely be the most excitement they have seen in a very long time. Although you may want to think twice about bobbing for apples anytime soon.

“Happy Halloween bitch.”

Surprise! Brock is back, played by fan favorite, Billy Eichner. We quickly discover that after Coco left her boyfriend, Brock, he has been living out in the wasteland for all this time. Brock has been exposed to radiation and is sporting some bald spots and gruesome marks on his face that prove he has definitely been through the ringer. While Brock initially seemed to be privileged and materialistic in the opening episode, he has shed that persona all too quickly. Brock has become somewhat of a bad-ass and reminded me of “Mad Max” while out in the wasteland. Brock explains that he is just looking for his girlfriend, but something tells me that he is not looking to kiss and makeup. Brock is aware of the shelter and spots one of the horse drawn carriages, hitching a ride to Outpost 3. Brock makes his way in and cleverly sports a mask of his own during the masquerade party, inviting Coco to dance. Coco mistakes him for Langdon and begins coming on to him, desperately looking for a way into “The Sanctuary.” Only Coco is in for a big surprise when Brock reveals his identity and she asks, “What happened to your face?” Coco tries to explain her actions, but just digs a deeper hole for herself when she compares her love to Brock to her love for sushi, explaining that she had to lock away her feelings for both, which does not amuse Brock at all. Brock brutally stabs Coco in the head and says, “Happy Halloween Bitch,” with no hesitation. While I’m not so sure how Brock will come into play now, we definitely should not discount him, as he has been exposed to the brutal reality outside and is looking for payback.

“Some people just have nothing special about them.”

In the beginning of the episode, Langdon interviews Mallory and recognizes a potential darkness within her. Langdon further reveals more about his own abilities when he says, “I can see into the dark places that people desperately try to keep hidden.” Langdon refers to it as a sort of talent or “night vision,” but it’s clear that Langdon possesses a lot of power. Langdon was not expecting the power of Mallory; however, who ends up setting the room on fire with her mind. Mallory is just as surprised as Langdon, who demands to know who she is. Langdon prides himself on knowing everything about a person and reveals his own true face when he is thrown off guard by Mallory’s power. While we know that Langdon is the baby from Murder House, it now appears that he is the Antichrist. Langdon even performs a dark blood ritual and calls out to his father, who we can only assume is the devil himself. Mallory later confides in Coco and Mr. Gallant, explaining that she thinks she set the room on fire. Coco hilariously asks her if she knocked over a candle and Mallory says, “I think I made the fire with my mind,” further comparing herself to Dark Phoenix.Marvel fans rejoice! This is not the first reference we have seen to Marvel during the show. The song, “Time in a Bottle,” played during an important moment for Mr. Gallant last week, which Evan Peters knows all too well. In X-Men: Days of Future Past, my absolute favorite scene featured Evan Peters, who played Quicksilver and helped break Magneto out of prison while this song played and we saw everything in slow motion. You can watch that original scene here! Think this is just a coincidence? Maybe it is. However, Mallory also rises from the dead or the ashes, just like the actual Dark Phoenix, which makes me think otherwise. Either way, I was truly impressed by Billie Lourd’s performance this week and I am looking forward to exploring more about Mallory and her abilities.

“All people if given the right pressures or stimulus are evil mother fuckers.”

Last week, we were completely shocked when Ms. Mead was revealed to be a robot of some kind. In this episode, we learn more about Ms. Mead’s “false memories,” which all involve Halloween. Hooray! Ms. Mead remembers trick-or-treating as Rosie, the Robot maid, from The Jetsons back in 1962 and even recalls her first date in 1968, when she watched the movie, Rosemary’s Baby, which is definitely hinting at the idea of Langdon’s own existence. Ms. Mead recognizes that these memories are false, but yet they feel somewhat real to her. Ms. Mead prides herself on being loyal to Ms. Venable and is shocked when she turns the tables on her and shoots Ms. Venable, killing her. Even though we initially thought the “poison apple” scheme was Ms. Venable’s idea, Langdon reveals that it was his own and that Ms. Mead is operating under his command. He further explains that he made Ms. Mead to be a sort of prototype, based on someone he loved as a child. Ms. Mead starts to understand the fading memory she has of a young boy, realizing that it must have been Langdon. Who is Ms. Mead based on? We can only assume that Langdon is referring to Michael’s grandmother, Constance Langdon, played by the fabulous Jessica Lange. The pieces are coming together for sure, but there is still so much left to be uncovered. I am absolutely looking forward to it, however.

1

“Surprise bitch! I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.”

After bobbing for apples, Ms. Venable invites everyone to enjoy their tasty treats. The apples themselves and the title of the episode scream references to the bible and the Garden of Eden, but no one at Outpost 3 seems to be paying attention to that. The apples are poisoned and we watch the disgusting demise of the characters we have come to know in the last three episodes. When thinking of poison apples, Snow White also comes to mind, and we do see several women come back to life after eating the poison apple. While I was initially upset to have invested so much time in the characters residing at Outpost 3, I was delightfully entertained by the return of three of our favorite witches. The record player was initially playing the song, “Baby I’m a Want You,” by Bread, which you can listen to here! The lyrics that stood out were, “Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour,” which seem beyond appropriate for the entrance of some of the members of Coven. The record player changes to the song, “She’s a Rainbow,” by The Rolling Stones, which you can listen to here! Right on cue, Cordelia, Madison, and Myrtle Snow make a grand entrance through the gates and are here to save the day and protect the world from Langdon most likely. They look for their sister witches and resurrect Mallory, Coco, and Dinah. Madison, played by Emma Roberts, delivers her “surprise bitch” line perfectly and we are ready for the fun to begin. Stay tuned!

P.S. fun fact: The song, “She’s a Rainbow,” is on The Rolling Stones album, Their Satanic Majesties Request.

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the CW’s The 100 season 5 episode 11, I learned that things aren’t always how they seem. You may think you know why someone does what they do, but until all of the pieces of the puzzle come together, it’s impossible for you to put yourself in their shoes. Would you do any differently? Would you understand what is at stake for survival? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet. In Tuesday night’s episode, “The Dark Year,” Clarke desperately tries to save her mother’s life and learns the truth about what Wonkru had to endure. Meanwhile, Shaw tries to protect Raven, Marcus discusses next steps with Diyoza, and Madi lectures Clarke on what it means to be a hero. My top 5 moments from The 100 season 5 episode 11 are:

5

“I’ll give you 24 hours to get her operating again.”

After Clarke saves Abby’s life, she is horrified to learn that she is addicted to pills and recognizes that if she takes anymore, she could die. McCreary discovers Clarke and Madi and tells her that she needs to have her mother up and running again or “you both get to watch your daughters die.” Clarke understands that it’s not just her life being threatened and takes the necessary steps to help her mother, but Madi reminds her that she is fighting on the wrong side of the war. Clarke forms an unpopular alliance with McCreary, recognizing that they both want the same thing. She tries to explain this to Madi, but Madi reminds her about what it means to lead and fight with honor.

4

“I’m not fighting foryou.”

Octavia begins to march Wonkru off to war and Bellamy reminds her that she is “marching us into a massacre” and killing her own people. He talks about the importance of winning the war the right way and making a deal with Diyoza so that they can all share the valley peacefully. Octavia listens to what Bellamy has to say, but it’s clear that she is only focused on one outcome…winning. She thanks Bellamy for fighting for her and he harshly reminds her, “I’m not fighting for you. I’m fighting to get back to my family.” Octavia has always been Bellamy’s family and these words clearly impact her, but she keeps going, realizing that there is no turning back now.

3

“I’m not mad at you for saving my life. I’m mad at you for making me care about yours.”

Shaw refuses to stay behind and is willing to help Raven and her friends no matter what. Raven reminds him that if he is captured, he can endanger everyone, but Shaw is willing to take that chance to protect her. Shaw shows up with perfect timing to help save the day and everyone is grateful except for Raven. When he later confronts her about it, he tells her, “Maybe you should forgive me for saving your life.” In an impulsive and passionate moment, Raven says, “I’m not mad at you for saving my life. I’m mad at you for making me care about yours,” and the two share the kiss we have all been waiting for. The tension between these two has finally been explored and I’m looking forward to see what’s next for them. However, I still see romantic sparks between Raven and Murphy, but with Emori still in the picture, I’m not sure that we can expect to see anything happen here just yet.

2

“I won’t let the devil in this garden.”

When Marcus speaks to Diyoza about how this war will end, they both realize that a peaceful resolution seems out of the question now. McCreary and Octavia are both dangerous leaders, but Marcus tries to figure out which option is potentially better when he asks, “How do you choose between a monster and the devil?” Later in the episode, Marcus agrees to help McCreary, reminding everyone that he doesn’t want to let Octavia in this garden, revealing that he thinks that she is the greater threat. Marcus has spent years with Octavia and witnessed what her leadership has done to humanity. He is not about to just stand by and watch this again, hoping that he will have better luck with McCreary. Is he making the right choice or is there another way out of this?

1

“She bore it so that they didn’t have to…just like you.”

In this episode, we finally get a glimpse into “The Dark Year” and truly learn and understand what Wonkru had to go through to survive. While the fighting pits seemed brutal and violent, I never realized their true purpose until Tuesday night’s episode and I have to admit that my stomach is still turning. Abby’s addiction clearly escalated because of her role in all of this, as she reveals to Clarke what they had to do to survive. “All of me for all of us,” took on a new meaning, as we learned that Wonkru was eating the meat of the people who lost in the arena. While some recognized that this was necessary to survive, others refused to resort to cannibalism and took a stand, including Marcus. Even Octavia felt that she could not force her people to do this, but Abby explained to her that it was the only real way to survive and told Octavia that she needed to take away their choice. In a horrific and heartbreaking moment, Octavia points a gun at a man who refused to eat because his brother died in the arena. She shoots and kills him to make her point and continues to do so, telling everyone that they must eat or die. After enough people died, Marcus stood up and said he would eat, swaying everyone else. After hearing Abby’s part in this and what Octavia had to convince her people to do in order to survive, Clarke is horrified, but Madi reminds her that Octavia did what Clarke did at Mount Weather. Even though Clarke says she never was a hero, Madi tells her that she is ashamed of her, searching for the Clarke who risked everything over and over again to protect her people. Will Clarke be able to find the hero within? Will Abby ever be able to truly redeem herself? Will Octavia ever be able to live with herself after all she has taken on to protect her people? Stay tuned!

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 13 episode 23 season finale, Dean got it absolutely right when he says, “But even when we’re strong, man things are going to happen. We’re going to make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect but we can get better. Every day we can get better.” While Dean’s words are meant for Jack, it seems like everyone can take a moment to pause and really listen here, including Dean. Mistakes are going to happen and plans are going to go terribly wrong, but what’s important is that the people who support us will stand by us and continue to fight on, even when it seems like all hope is lost. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s season finale, “Let the Good Times Roll,” Michael and Lucifer make their way back into the real world and prove to be a greater threat than we thought possible. Meanwhile, Jack contemplates leaving earth to spend some quality time with his father, Lucifer, and Dean teams up with Michael in a way you may not expect. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 13 episode 23 season finale are:

5

Dean talks about retirement.

In the beginning of the episode, Dean takes a moment to think about what life would be like once all the evil is gone. While it seems like a fantasy, you never really know which battle is going to be the ultimate one. Perhaps thinking about time on a beach with a Hawaiian shirt is the way to go, especially when you are surrounded by chaos constantly. Sam seems doubtful that Dean will ever truly retire from hunting, but Dean says he will if the world is safe. While one can only hope that our favorite brothers can finally kick back and relax, the threat is nowhere near over just yet.

4

Dean gives Jack a pep talk.

We know that the Winchester brothers have a real knack for giving pep talks, but Jack is in desperate need of some guidance. Dean talks to him about the importance of sticking together even when things happen and tells Jack that he is family and that they look after their own. Even though Lucifer is Jack’s biological father, Sam, Dean, and Castiel have been the guiding forces in his life and remind him what family is truly about. Jack has been blaming himself for hurting others and when his friend, Maggie shows up dead, the guilt continues to overwhelm him. While not everything that happens can be fixed, Jack desperately wants to be able to reverse the evil around him. However, that starts with Daddy Dearest.

3

“Like Star Wars?”

Lucifer shows up and Jack does not believe what he sees, as Sam told him that Michael killed him. Lucifer tries to twist everything yet again and informs Jack that Sam is the one who left him behind. He manipulates his son by telling him that he’s here for him and suggests that Jack really needs him. Lucifer further explains that “humans are limited and fragile,” reminding Jack that he will never truly fit in here. He offers Jack the chance to go somewhere else and start over so that Jack can live his life for himself. Jack’s comparison of this to Star Wars lightens the mood but is actually pretty accurate, as he thinks about what life could be like “in a galaxy far, far away.” While the idea is certainly tempting, Jack will soon realize that you can’t just run away and abandon the people you love.

2

“This is the end of everything.”

While Sam and Dean are attacked by Michael, Sam sends a prayer Jack’s way, hoping that he will be able to hear them. Jack saves them and turns the tables on Lucifer when he forces him to tell the truth and learns that he is responsible for all of this and was the one who killed Maggie in the first place. I mean he also did bring her back from the dead, but does anyone really stay dead on this show? Jack tells Lucifer he is not his father and calls him a monster, finally making the right decision for himself. Lucifer tells him that he’s too much like his mother and slashes his throat, as he absorbs Jack’s power. After a blinding light consumes them, they are transported out of there and Sam has accidentally “hitched a ride.” Michael explains that with Jack’s power, Lucifer is too strong for anyone to stop and that the world will be destroyed.

Dean makes the ultimate sacrifice.

A quick flashback to earlier episodes reminds us that Dean was destined to be Michael’s vessel in the same way that Sam was destined to be Lucifer’s. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up to date on all of this information so I was happy for the reminder. Dean offers himself as Michael’s vessel or “sword” so that he can obtain the strength he needs to take down Lucifer. This is a dangerous option but he doesn’t really have a choice, as he knows that Lucifer will kill Sam and Jack. He tells Michael that this is a one-time thing and makes a deal, reminding him that “you’re the engine but I’m behind the wheel.” Just as Jack is about to sacrifice himself to save Sam, Dean/Michael bursts in, showing off his new wings. They kill Lucifer, but I have to wonder if he is really dead, as we know that our favorite devil has a habit of returning even though he is unwanted. Plus with Crowley gone, Lucifer has been providing us with some laugh out loud moments so I’m hoping he is not truly gone for good. Dean is happy that the plan was a success and reemphasizes the teamwork here. Unfortunately, Michael double crosses him and goes against their deal. He takes over Dean’s body and leaves Sam and Jack. At the end of the finale, we see Dean/Michael with glowing eyes, walking the streets. While we are unsure of where he is or what his plans are, we know that he will not be letting his new vessel go without a fight. Stay tuned!

Happy Sunday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 13 episode 22, Lucifer is desperately trying to turn over a new leaf to make a good impression on his son, but is anyone really buying it? While he tries to bond with his son, Jack over forced high-fives and inappropriate discussions about his mother, it does sure seem like he’s trying. It seems like Jack is willing to give him a chance, but are we? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Exodus,” Dean is beyond happy to see his brother, Sam alive and well. However, their mother, Mary is not ready to leave her people behind, which causes the Winchester brothers to come up with a plan to bring everyone through the rift. Meanwhile, Lucifer tries to bond with Jack and Rowena makes a valiant effort to hold the rift open. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 13 episode 22 are:

“VIP pass. I’m with the band.”

In the beginning of the episode, everyone is shocked to see Lucifer enter the camp. He tries to lighten the mood with his winning personality and reminds them that he’s here to join the team. Sam and Dean don’t want Lucifer anywhere near Jack, but Jack is curious about his father and is not ready to turn away from him until he gets some answers. While Lucifer possesses power that will come in handy in the fight against Michael, no one seems ready to jump on his bandwagon just yet.

Mary punches Lucifer in the face.

Lucifer comically asks Mary if she misses him and she responds with a punch square in his jaw. I have to admit that this was beyond funny, as Mary proves that she is a Winchester no matter what and is not going to let anyone screw with her, even if they are the devil. Mary explains to Sam and Dean that she is not going to go back through the rift because she does not want to abandon the people here counting on her. Dean is not ready to accept going back to a world without her and Sam comes up with a compromise, suggesting that they bring everyone through the rift until they can come up with a plan to stop Michael. While 25 people seem like quite a lot to bring through the rift in a short amount of time, they are willing to take this chance because they need their mother in their lives. After all, they did just travel to another dimension to save her.

Castiel vs Castiel.

After reconnecting with Bobby, Dean is concerned about the well-being of Charlie, especially when he learns that Ketch is working with her. Both Charlie and Ketch are captured and alter-dimension Castiel enters the room, ready to torture with no remorse. Castiel faces off against himself, ready to take down the threat. Alter-dimension Castiel reminds him, “we are the same” and our Castiel replies with, “yes we are,” as he takes his life with no hesitation. While this threat is taken out, we know that Michael is still lurking somewhere in the shadows, ready to make his move.

“Kids. You just gotta know how to talk to them.”

Lucifer eagerly embraces his new role as a father and puts his best effort forward to connect with Jack. After taking off to gather his thoughts, Jack explains that he is ready to listen even though Sam, Dean, and Castiel warn him not to talk to Lucifer. Jack has a lot of questions but starts with the most important one: “Why does everyone hate you?” Lucifer tries to spin his own story about why he was cast out of heaven and does mention that he has done some terrible things, but is ready to make amends. Castiel is not buying it, however; rolling his eyes at Lucifer’s over-simplifications. When Jack’s mother is mentioned, Lucifer tries to add some input and says, “Awesome lady. Lost my virginity to her.” This revelation is completely inappropriate, but Lucifer continues to try to bond with Jack, which leads to a somewhat inspiring pep talk. Jack tells Sam that he wants to stay behind and fight Michael, but Lucifer steps in and reminds him that “sometimes doing the right thing can go wrong.” Jack calls Lucifer “father” to his delight, but Sam is clearly worried that Lucifer’s influence will lead Jack down the wrong path, especially since he is so impressionable and naive.

Showdown at the rift.

Time is running out and everyone needs to make it out of the rift before it closes for good. Rowena is back in our world, using all of her strength and magic to keep it open as long as possible. As everyone starts going through the rift, Michael shows up with perfect timing. Gabriel tells Sam and Dean to leave and is no longer running away. He faces off against Michael and is tragically killed to the horror of Sam and Dean. Gabriel sacrificed himself for them, proving that he did have goodness within him. Lucifer tries to hold off Michael as well as everyone gets through the rift. Just before Sam enters the rift, he says to Lucifer, “how did you think this was going to end?” Sam rushes through the rift and leaves Lucifer behind. Lucifer is now done being a team player and strikes up a deal with Michael. He agrees to help him pass through the rift and destroy whatever he wants as long as he can be with his son. While this is not shocking in the slightest, as we know that Lucifer’s first priority is always Lucifer, he and Michael together may be impossible to defeat. Stay tuned for the season finale next week!

Happy Friday TV fans! After watching the CW’s Supernatural season 13 episode 21 last night, I learned that enemies can easily become unlikely allies when they have something valuable to offer. While Lucifer may be the devil himself, his fondness for “Sammy,” helps the Winchester brothers out of quite the jam, but is everyone truly ready to make a deal with the devil?Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “Beat the Devil,” Gabriel’s archangel grace is tapped out, leaving only one other option on the table. Rowena and Gabriel grow closer and execute Sam’s plan to capture Lucifer so they can get back into the rift to finally rescue Jack and Mary. While Lucifer is captured, he tries to break Rowena, leading to his own ticket into the rift. A tragic moment puts Dean on edge, but he is finally reunited with his mother. This is not the only family reunion in the cards, however; as Jack comes face to face with his father, Lucifer. My top 5 moments from Supernatural season 13 episode 21 are:

“Pep talks and melodrama.”

In the beginning of the episode, Rowena attempts to cast the spell to open the rift with Gabriel’s grace, but his performance is “premature,” as it is unable to hold the rift open. Gabriel’s grace is clearly tapped out and everyone realizes that they need Lucifer to keep the rift open. While this is no one’s first option, they don’t have any other choice. While Sam, Dean, and Castiel try to come up with a plan, Rowena comically comments that they are like “the three amigos” and explains they will be a while with their “pep talks and melodrama.”

“We were just reading books.”

While they are waiting to hear the plan, Gabriel and Rowena suddenly realize that they are attracted to one another and decide to have an adventure of their very own behind the bookcase. When Sam, Dean, and Castiel return, they are beyond shocked and disturbed. While it’s clear that they were not just reading books, Dean doesn’t want to hear the details and tells them that Sam has a plan. While Gabriel later comments that he can “cross having sex with a 300 year old red-head off his bucket list,” these two actually have a lot in common. Will it be a one-time fling or is there a romance in the cards for Rowena?

“All the people I love to torture in the same room.”

Lucifer is drowning his sorrows at a bar, confiding in the bartender about his problems with his son. It seems like Lucifer is no longer concerned with heaven or hell and has focused all of his energy on Jack. After he starts to get a little woozy, the bartender is revealed to actually be Gabriel who puts his trickster skills to good use along with a “magical roofie.” After Rowena makes her entrance, Lucifer comments, “I killed you too.” The plan is a success and they hold Lucifer captive so that they can keep his grace on tap to ensure the rift stays open. While we know that it’s impossible to keep Lucifer detained forever, everyone heads into the rift and Rowena stays behind to “babysit” Lucifer.

“Step into my office.”

While Lucifer is being held captive, he puts his best effort forward to break Rowena and tries to hit a nerve. He compares her situation to the “woman staying home in the kitchen,” while the boys go to handle the real work, but Rowena stays strong, refusing to give him the satisfaction of upsetting her. When this doesn’t work, Lucifer resorts to some off key singing that is beyond annoying, but Rowena keeps her cool. Lucifer finally strikes a nerve when he brings up killing her and Rowena tries to bring him down by telling him that his son considers Sam, Dean, and Castiel to be his real family. Lucifer channels his anger and is able to break free. He wounds Rowena and she deflects him with her magic into the rift in self-defense. While this is clearly the last thing anyone wants, Rowena has second thoughts about leaving the Winchester brothers to fend for themselves and gets to work by opening her spell book to come up with something to help.

“Hey Sammy.”

When Sam, Dean, and Castiel go through the rift, they wind up in a different entrance again and need to make their way to Dayton. They help some strangers who are being attacked by starved vampires on the way and learn that the quickest way to Dayton is through a tunnel filled with these monsters. Sam is brutally attacked and dragged off, as Dean screams out to him. Castiel goes after him, but explains that it is too late and that Sam is gone. Dean is barely able to process what has just happened, but keeps on going. When he finally reunites with his mother, Mary, a single tear falls down Dean’s face, which is beyond heart-breaking. Lucifer’s entrance through the rift proves to be useful after all, as he brings Sam back to life. Sam knows that he wants something in return and is afraid to hear what he has to say. Lucifer merely explains that “I want what you already have. A relationship with my son.” Sam is initially confused by this, but Lucifer further explains that he wants Sam to tell Jack that Lucifer is responsible for saving him, so that Jack can be grateful toward Lucifer and begin to feel something for him. Sam begrudgingly accepts since the alternative is to get eaten by vampires yet again, but everyone is beyond shocked when Lucifer walks into the camp with Sam, finally getting the family reunion he was so desperately longing for. Will Jack accept him? While we know that Lucifer will come in handy in the fight against Michael, what else does he secretly have planned? The devil can never be trusted, but it looks like the Winchester brothers do not have a choice at this point. Stay tuned!
